How to Make Our Sunrise Skillet
- Cook bacon in a skillet on the stove over medium heat until slightly crispy, then remove and set aside for later.
- Add in hash browns and onion directly to the skillet (don’t rinse out the bacon drippings). Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Crumble bacon into potatoes, then add in beaten eggs and stir until they are fully cooked (about 2 minutes).
- Finish by sprinkling with cheese and chopped green onions and serve warm with some ranchero sauce for a kick.
Recipe Notes
If you are in need of some suggestions on how to add even more flavors to this dish, there are various items you can add to accomplish just that: minced garlic, ground breakfast sausage, spinach, sliced mushrooms, loads of ham, fresh parsley, black beans, and different types of cheeses (goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, aged cheddar, and pepper jack).
If you want to avoid using bacon, other protein alternatives include the following: sausage links, Canadian-style bacon, ground sausage, and Philly steak.

Made this tonight for dinner. I used sausage (16oz) instead of bacon. It was very good. I will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing.

I just tested the “Print Recipe” button found just above the ingredients in the box and all that comes up to print off is the recipe. I had no problem with advertisements or anything. Try the “Print Recipe” button instead of Print Friendly. Hope this helps.
Is it possible to make this recipe and bake it instead of cooking it in a skillet? Also, would like to increase amount of servings.
This is a skillet recipe where the ingredients are cooked on the stove top. Here are some other breakfast egg dishes that are baked in the oven or in the slow cooker.

The first time I made this, I was a Camp Fire leader and my Camp Fire kids cooked this over an open fire on a camp out. It was called Wilderness Hash. It has always been a huge hit no matter where it is cooked. I can not find my original recipe so am very glad that you published this one. I don’t think we used onions because kids can be picky. With or without, it is delicious and easy. Thank you.
